Laurel Park blends historic character with downtown convenience, set just south of central Sarasota. Recognized as the Laurel Park Historic District, the neighborhood showcases 1920s bungalows, cottage apartments, and brick-paved lanes framed by mature trees. Morning strolls lead to indie coffee shops, small galleries, and the waterfront in minutes, making errands and evenings out feel delightfully easy.
Active days often revolve around Payne Park, where a lush loop trail, playgrounds, and tennis courts draw joggers and pickleball fans alike. Residents also savor the tropical collections at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and the weekly energy of the downtown Sarasota Farmers Market, a Saturday ritual for fresh produce and local makers. Arts lovers gravitate to nearby Burns Court for independent cinema and historic streetscapes, while the Rosemary District tempts with cutting-edge dining and design.
Families appreciate access to Sarasota County Schools, including well-regarded options such as Southside Elementary and Sarasota High, with magnet and arts programs nearby. Housing spans restored historic homes, tidy townhomes, and select infill residences, offering options for first-time buyers, move-up households, and downsizers seeking a low-maintenance address close to everything.
